Oohirayama, Temple Konpira-In 大平山 金毘羅院 OhirayamaThis small temple in Kurayoshi is famous for the statue of a Kannon Bosatsu which prevents dementia in the elderly. It is of course becoming more and more important in present-day Japan. The old priest told me that even folk from Hokkaido come visiting here to pray for their old age.
